The wonder of diversity!

Every week more and more people from different countries are being added to our list of beloved Signature Minerals customers!!

Now, I realize some of you won’t find this very interesting (sorry), but hopefully some of you will find it as fascinating as I do! Sometimes I find myself looking up the cities and countries our customers live in to see what its like - needless to say, I am learning a lot about this wonderfully diverse planet we share!

I thought it would be fun to keep a list of the different international countries where people are using Signature Mineral Makeup. I’ll do my best to keep it updated regularly.

Here is the list as of today! (bolded countries are new since the Feb. 15 update)

Australia, Austria, Canada, England, Finland, France, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia,  Norway, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and United Kingdom.

WOW! So many countries I would love to visit one of these days!!

If YOUR country isn’t on this list - write to us and let us know you are the first! When you order we’ll send you something special for being the first in your country to order Signature Minerals!

I am so amazed and so very pleased that Signature Minerals can make such a diverse group of people look and feel great!

Thanks to all of you - all over the world! (If you ever want to send me info or pictures of your city/country I would appreciate it so much!)

After testing and testing we finally decided on the first 5 of our new brushes! We are really excited and we know you will be very happy with the quality AND the affordability of these brushes!

Here’s the line up:

Fluff Eye Shadow Brush

Tapered Cheek Brush

Ultimate Concealer Brush

Total Coverage Face Brush

Ultimate Long Handled Buki (highly requested!)

They are all super super soft, made with the finest animal hair (cruelty free) or ultra soft taklon.

Of course quality comes first, but length was also important to us. We like our brushes to easily fit in our makeup bags or purses and these are just the perfect size! Each is 5 inches in length (except the Ultimate Long Handled Buki which is 4 inches in length).

They will be ready for release at the end of March but we are so excited we couldn’t wait to introduce them! From now until the end of March we are having a Pre-Release Brush Sale so you can purchase them at a special 25% discount! Keep in mind, once they are released the sale ends forever.

To take advantage of the savings, order now and as soon they are released we will ship them right out to you! Of course we will send you a shipping confirmation the day they are shipped.

As always, we are intent on offering ALL Signature products at very affordable prices every day and our new brushes are no exception. Even after the sale ends, you can be certain you are getting quality brushes at the most affordable prices. 

 Enjoy and Please let us know what you think!

For the last couple of weeks we have been busy busy busy putting together our new printable catalog, and it is finally complete!

Originally we didn’t plan on a printable catalog, only a bound catalog.  However, with so many requests for a printable version we finally began to see the beauty in having both!

Instant updating and No waiting - Those are the best things about the online version. Any time we add a product we can instantly make the change in the catalog! And you can easily print the whole catalog (or any page) from the convenience of your home with no waiting!

We are just about there with the design for our bound catalog but we don’t want to put it into print just yet. We want it to be as complete as possible so until our new brushes are ready, we will have to sit on it. Be on the look out for new brushes to trickle in over the next weeks and the bound catalog in the next couple of months.

Thanks to all who requested a Signature Minerals catalog! You can access it anytime (to view or print) on the left hand menu of the site.

New Roseberry blush is available and already a hit!

  Roseberry Blush is a unique shade of dusty rose with bare hints of shimmery pale raspberry. It has a semi-matte finish with just a bit of shimmer (looks more shimmery in the container that it does on your cheeks).

This shade also looks BEAUTIFUL on lips!

~Enjoy, Sig

Between new products and International shipping, I simply forgot to post about our New Concealer! Light Touch Concealer is specially formulated for light skin - we love it and so far, so do our customers!

This new concealer formulation was necessary because many of our light skinned clients told us that the multi-tasking concealer was just too dark and showed through their foundation- no longer an issue! (see how your input helps?) We are so pleased with this concealer and if you have light skin, you will be too!!

Just before we were ready to offer it, we sent a sample to Patty (one of our light-skinned customers). This was her response:                        

   “Thank you so much for the lighter concealer sample.  Totally sold me the first try!  And thank you for your excellent customer service.”

Patty ordered a full size Light Touch Concealer the 1st day we had it out!  ~ Thank you too, Patty! And you are welcome! It’s our pleasure and we are so glad you love it!!

Now, here is Hope!  Hope is very light skinned, has some red marks and a little rosacea. She looks great in Light Touch Concealer! How do we know? Because Hope was wonderful enough to share her before and after photos and profile with us! You just have to see this - she looks fabulous!!!!!!  

Thanks Hope and Patty for your input!!!  

Have input? Post, write or call! We would love to hear from you!

~Sincerely, Sig

 After only 6 weeks of International shipping - we want to say THANKS SO MUCH to Australia, Canada, England, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Norway, Philippines, Qatar, Singapore, Sweden, and United Kingdom for ordering (and reordering) Signature Minerals!! We are so happy you love your minerals!

Honestly, we have been completely blown away by the interest in Signature Minerals all over the world!!!! 

Since late on day 1, things have been running VERY smoothly (thanks to Japan and Finland for pointing out a couple of potential issues that 1st day!) and we are so excited to have already received testimonials from Australia!  

Originally, we were only going to ship to countries that accept Global Priority Mail, but due to demand, we have decided NOT to limit our shipping to just those countries. 

Now, Take Note: in order to service as many countries as possible, we have updated our  flat rate shipping chart to include: US rates, Canada/Mexico rates, International 2 rates: countries that DO accept Global Priority Mail, and International 3 rates: Countries that Do NOT accept Global Priority Mail. (the only change is International 3, which is countries that do not accept GPM)

As you will see on the shipping rate charts, we are determined to keep our shipping rates as low as possible!!

If you do not see your country on our list, there is most likely a reason we cannot ship to your country. However, you are welcome to contact us just in case it was an oversite on our part. If it was an oversite, we will add your country right away!

We were so nervous getting started with International Shipping but it is going very well and we  are just so pleased with the way it is turning out! We look forward to shipping Signature Minerals to every country we possibly can!

If you have any questions or suggestions - please contact us and we will get back to you right away!

Once again,

Thanks! ~Sig  

What a week it has been! Although we prepped and planned, we still ran into a few bumps getting everything just right for our International customers. It has been a challenge but one we have been very excited to meet!

We want to extend a heartfelt special thanks to our staff for working long hours over the last 4 days and to our programmers/internet support for hanging in there with us and helping us get this right.  

If you have any questions or encounter any problems with any part of the International Ordering or Shipping process please do not hesitate to contact us  customersupport@signatureminerals.com
